Two friends, one who loves both Jane Austen and David Lynch, one who is only passingly familiar with both, explore their bodies of work and the adaptations of that work.
We've reached the end of Mansfield Park and quite a bit happens in these last few chapters. How will all the pieces land and is the final chapter wrap-up as delightful as usual? Find out if this book maintained its spot as Maya's favorite.
This week is our penultimate episode. Three months pass in Portsmouth and Fanny receives a significant visitor and several very consequential letters.
This week Fanny goes back home to Portsmouth and it is a bit of a culture shock. Will the noise and chaos break her spirits, or can she find the true love she is looking for?
This week the pressure is on and Fanny is feeling the weight of it. Edmund returns and Crawfords prepare to leave, and Fanny can't seem to help but speak her truth.
This week we are covering four emotionally charged chapters. A week of pent up feelings leads to an explosive cliffhanger.
This week we are covering chapters 25 -28 and everything's coming up Fanny. William is in town, everyone is thinking of her, and she is coming out. How will our shy little heroine deal with being the center of attention?
Life is a little busy at the moment so we are taking the next few weeks off, but we didn't want to leave you without episodes to listen to. Please enjoy this re-release of our coverage of Fire Walk With Me. We will be back with the second half of Mansfield Park next week.

This week we are putting down the book to catch-up. We sort some characters, discuss why we all need some Lynch & Austen during these times, sort characters and create our dream adaptation.
A bit of a shorter section this week as we only cover three chapters, 22 - 24. These chapters are all about Fanny, she's finally the center of attention, even if it's not where she prefers to be, and in these chapters she is experiencing a lot of other firsts as well.
This week we are covering chapters 18 - 21 of Mansfield Park and things are changing. Sir Thomas finally returns home, at a very inconvenient time, Lady Bertram puts down her pug, and Maria and Rushworth finally wed.
This week on the podcast we are covering chapters 13 - 17. Sir Thomas is still abroad, and the young people have found a new way to amuse themselves, they are putting on a play.
This week we are discussing chapters 9 -12 of Mansfield Park. Everyone is starting to reveal their true colors, and Fanny is noticing it all, while going mostly ignored herself.
This week we are covering chapters 5 - 8 of Mansfield Park. The Crawfords presence has caused very mixed emotions in the young people and they are still figuring out this new dynamic.
This week we start Jane Austen's most complex novel Mansfield Park. We cover chapters 1-4, which span 30 years and explore the character's childhoods like no other Austen novel we've read.
This week we finally get the game we've been talking about doing for months, Thimbleweed Park. It's a throwback to 80's and 90's point and click adventure games. It a ton of fun, gets very meta, has a load of nostalgic references and very retro pixel art.
This week we pay tribute to one of our favorite artists and a pillar of the podcast, David Lynch.
This week we are covering the 2022 documentary Lynch/Oz. It is a collection of essays about the connections between David Lynch's work and The Wizard of Oz. It also delves into The Wizard of Oz's influence over much of American cinema.This episode was recorded prior to David Lynch's passing. We are deeply saddened and our hearts are with his family, friends and the innumerable people across the world he touched with his work. Rest in Peace
We are focusing on David Lynch this month and starting with his most recent project, the album Cellophane Dreams that he made with Chrystabell. It is ethereal and experimental, and we enjoyed the journey of trying to figure out whether we liked it or not.
We are starting the New Year off with a check-in. We discuss what's coming up for us on the podcast, go over how our holiday's went, talk about our goals for the new year and take some quizzes that seem a littl too accurate.
‘Twas the day before Christmas and we wanted to see some Hot Frosty. Originally it was going to be a commentary but it turned into a lovely retelling, a la Christian. We hope you all have lovely holidays and a happy New Year! We will talk to you again in 2025. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mannersandmadness/support
